Chapter Nineteen
“ALFRED!” I screamed.
His face froze. His whole body did. “Zana.....”
“Alfred?!” I ran over to him.
“You should be way もっと見る careful.....” He choked. An ARROW/アロー stuck straight out of his chest, rising and falling with his breathing as it slowed.
I killed him. My own brother. Just out of my stupidity. God, why was I such an idiot?! No, how could this happen? HOW?! NO! I dropped down beside him as he fell to the ground. “Alfred? Alfred stay with me!” I slapped his cheek a little.
“Heh. あなた shot me with a crossbow, and now your slapping me? What a bitch...” He laughed weakly. His head started to turn to the side and his eyelids lowered slowly.
“Come on, stay with me!” With all the effort I could muster, I picked him up. He was like lead, what with all the cheeseburger's he's eaten. Carrying him in my arms, I made the short trip back to the camp.
“Oh my god!” Lovino exclaimed.
“Help him.” I whimpered. I lay Alfred down in the 草 and look up at them all. His breathing was getting shallower.
Kiku and Gilbert ran up knelt beside my brother. Kiku eased the ARROW/アロー out of his rib cage, and Alfred groaned. Feliciano ran over with cloth to clean the wound, and a bottle of water. I watched them work, heavy with guilt. I did this to him. I did. No one else was involved. I shot him. I shot my brother.
That's when I ran. It would've been best if I had never come along. All I do is cause problems! All I do is get people killed! Running and running, not even bothering to look back at the people who where screaming at me. I'm sure they're glad I'm going away. I bet they're yelling to never come back.
I ran for what seemed like hours, but was probably only a few minutes. I broke through the 木, ツリー line and scampered up the nearest one. Curling up, I hugged my knees and began to cry.
“Why so down?”
I fell out of the tree. Reaching for my gun, and turned to face the mystery person. “Who are you? 表示する YOURSELF!” I aimed the gun at the tree.
“Easy. It's me, Matthew.” A face poked out from the leaves. Blonde hair fell to his chin, a single strand sticking out and ending in a weird curl. Of course it was him. I would've recognized that soft, scared voice anywhere. Poor Matthew. He always gets ignored. I try to say hi to hi when I can, but sometimes I can't even find him. I know he's there, but it's like he has this ability to disappear.
“Hey Matty. What're あなた doing here?” I rubbed my eye. Stupid. Crying in front of another person. I don't even know what he's been through.
“I've been following あなた guys this whole time. I'm not a stalker, don't worry, but I figured I'd be safer if I stuck with you. People always ignore me anyway, so I thought I could be your shadow.” He smiled slightly. “You didn't answer my question. Why are あなた so sad?”
I gave up. He was so easy to talk to. I told him everything. Well, at least the things he missed. デイジー going crazy, Dennis walking off. The dreams. I told him about every nightmare I'd had. The shape-shifting creature, the falling, the flames. I told him about the crossbow, and what happened to Alfred. He kept a straight face and nodded, not wanting to say anything until I was done. We were both sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Finally, when I finished, he started asking questions. I answered the best I could, until he asked about Dennis.
“So, do あなた know what happened to him after he left?” Matthew asked. I froze. Cheeks burning, I turned away, disgusted.
“I have no idea.” I spat bitterly. He stopped the interrogation after that.
I heard a scream in the distance.
“What was that?!” Matt hopped up, as well as me.
“Better question, who was that?” I ran toward the field.
Creeps. Everywhere. All swarming around our camp.
“ALFRED!” I screamed.
His face froze. His whole body did. “Zana.....”
